CARNAGE
there is a certain complexity to understanding thoughts and feelings. In that there is equal systems and chaos. This work shows the order and mess when it comes to understanding my thoughts. It also shows the line between my head and reality, the way that the things that over consume my head expand out onto reality and confuse it.
YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT
Disassociating, Paranoia, Wary, Fear, Overthinking, Overanalysing. How does one comprehend all theses emotions in a mere 4 minutes that turns out to be the worse moment of their life? in hopes to show what I felt when I had my underskirt photo taken on the MRT, this work shows the range of emotions I felt and pays close attention to the loop of blur which represents me disassociating because I refused to acknowledge anything even happened that I repeated the same thing over and over again to convince myself.

Each stitch represents a story, a moment where I wanted to just escape. Using the designs of the tablelcloth to enhance the overlapping chaos surrounding the moment as well as the pain of having these words etched in my memories forever. Eventually, these threads fall through and form a chair in a pool of thread, shows how helpless and incapacitated I feel in that moment. With the lack of just 1 leg, the chair cannot stand and disintegrates. Through this work, I want to explore the nuances of familial interactions and the weight it bares on my shoulders as well as the dynamics of a conversations. This duality of detachment and nuance creates a tension that reflects the complexity of relationships and it's effect on me
